There are new stains that is automatically appearing on my paint film – what is this?

Concentration of water-soluble ingredients on the surface of a water based paint, typically on a ceiling surface in rooms that have high humidity (e.g. shower, bathroom, kitchen); may be evident as tan or brown spots on areas, and can sometimes be glossy soapy or sticky. This is called Surfacing or

What are the possible causes?

All water based paint formulas will exhibit this tendency to some extent if applied in areas that become humid (bathrooms, for example), it is more likely to occur when the paint is applied in cold weather and exposed to steam within 48 hours.

How can I fix the problem?

Wash the affected area with soap and water, and rinse. The problem may occur once or twice again before leachable material is completely removed. When paint is applied in a bathroom, it is helpful to have it dry thoroughly before using the shower. Remove all staining before repainting.

My new paint job is all wrinkled. Why has this happened?

The hardening on the outer layer of a thick coat of paint before the under layer dries results in the paint film having a rough, wrinkled appearance.

What are the possible causes?

Applying paint too thickly especially with oil-based paints.

Applying a second coat of paint before the first has dried.

Not following recommended drying times.

Painting during extremely hot causes the paint film to dry faster on top than on the bottom.

Uncured paint that is exposed to high humidity is also prone to wrinkling.

Painting over contaminated surface e.g., dirt, grease or wax.

How can I fix the problem?

Allow wrinkled coating to dry completely.

Once dry, scrape or sand to remove wrinkled coating.

In reapplying paint, follow recommended drying between coats.

Avoid extremes in humidity and heat during application.

Use premium quality exterior paint.

It’s always better to apply two thin coats, than one thick coat.

Consider using a water-based system for a shorter drying and recoating time.

My walls and ceiling were white when painted, and now they’re yellow. Why is this?

The yellow cast that appears over previously painted white surfaces is called yellowing, and mostly occurs with oil paints.
